    Humidity of incubation

    Since I'm new at this I have so many questions. 1. How do I know if the humidity is at 45%? I have a still air incubator but I do have the egg turner. The company for the bator only said to add wet sponges if my water levels dropped a lot. I'm not quite buying that. But I don't know how to...

    12 hour keet having a problem

    The little keet died. I was so upset by that. I just keep going over and over what I did wrong with the incubation process. I know that over time it will more than likely happen again, but this was my first time at this. Cindi K.

    12 hour keet having a problem

    So far the little thing is doing well now. I did what you suggested and it's eating and drinking, and I'm having to wipe it's bottom all the time due to stuff is always stuck there. The only thing now is the right side of the head is still stuck with I suppose left over blood and such so the...

    A few guinea questions

    As far as fly's go we use a fly larva that comes via ups/fedex from a company we have used for years. You open the plastic bag and place a little bit of it here and there all over the barn or wherever you have fly problems. Knock on wood, we haven't had fly's bother our horses inside the barn...

    Guinea Foot Trauma

    My guinea is doing much better now. The spray seemed to be the trick for healing. The toe is still swollen, but time will tell. They do have a huge I mean HUGE cage in the garage. So much so, I can't park the cars in there. I think they are just silly birds, and not being as domesticated as...

    Guinea Foot Trauma

    Okay here is what I found out. The expert woman I spoke with told me that by having the Guineas penned up for any length of time will cause them to fuss and fight with one another. She looked at my bird and said it appears that the gashes and deep wound are just that. She said to keep her...

    Guinea Foot Trauma

    I checked on my Guinea this morning and she seems to be doing okay so far. The toe is swollen and the wound is not bleeding anymore. The problem is keeping the whole toe. She can't bend her toe at all poor thing. I think you are right about the birds getting on each others nerves when being...

    Guinea Foot Trauma

    Yes I'm pretty sure nothing could have gotten to my bird unless a mouse got in. But I'm almost sure it was the birds fighting. I caught one of them trying to peck the head off of one. When I looked closer, the poor thing had blood running from above his eye. A nice tear. Looking at the...

    Guinea Foot Trauma

    That is really strange. Yesterday I found one of my guineas with a gash in the top of the left foot, right above the left claw. I didn't know what the heck was going on when I looked in the cage and there was blood everywhere. All over the perches on everything. It took me a while to figure...
